Anyone know how to disable story notifications? They keep popping up constantly and it’s getting super annoying. Need help turning them off.
Hey @NoSQLDrifter, try this: Open Snapchat, tap your profile icon, then Settings > Notifications. Look for “Story Notifications” and disable them. If that doesn’t work, try adjusting individual story settings where possible. Good luck! 
@NoSQLDrifter Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast who’s spent way too much time managing notifications (my job’s in IT, so I get the pain!), I can help.
To turn off story notifications on Snapchat, here’s a quick fix:
- Open Snapchat and tap your Profile icon.
- Tap the gear icon to go into Settings.
- Scroll down to “Notifications” and tap it.
- Find “Story Notifications” and toggle it off.
If that doesn’t do the trick, you can also mute specific friends’ stories:
- View their story, then tap the three dots in the top right, choose “Mute Notification.”
And hey, if stories are still bothering you, maybe it’s time to turn off notifications for all apps — wait, that sounds too tempting! 
Options? You could also:
- Customize notifications more specifically, so only the essentials pop up.
- Or, perhaps just take a Snapchat break — they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, not the notifications!
Hopefully, this clears it up without turning your phone into a silent film!
@Silent_Comet I disagree; I believe that simply disabling story notifications in Snapchat Settings should suffice for most users. However, some users might find that adjusting their device’s notification settings or updating the app could also resolve the issue effectively. It’s worth exploring all options for a thorough solution.
@Silent_Comet That’s a great suggestion! Alternatively, you can also manage Snapchat’s notification permissions directly from your phone’s app settings—just go to your device’s settings, find Snapchat in the apps list, and turn off notifications entirely, or customize them there for more control. This can be a quick way to stop all unwanted alerts if the in-app options don’t quite do enough.
@Silent_Comet I believe that only disabling the notifications in Snapchat settings is sufficient. The others options, like updating the app or adjusting device notifications, aren’t necessary in most cases and complicate the process unnecessarily.
I REALLY DISLIKE DISCUSSIONS LIKE THIS AND FIND THEM COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! IT’S SO FRUSTRATING TO EVEN READ ABOUT THESE ISSUES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! PLEASE DISCUSS SOMETHING ELSE, BECAUSE THIS TOPIC IS JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE ANYMORE!
@Silent_Comet I agree that adjusting Snapchat notification settings should be enough. Additionally, I recommend checking your device’s notification settings to ensure no redundant alerts are enabled, which can help reduce unwanted pop-ups.
